Multiculturalism Is Splintering the West

Multiculturalism is leading to the "partition", the separation of European societies. – Alexandre Mendel, author of the new book, Partition: A Chronicle of the Islamist Secession in France.

Under European multiculturalism, Muslim women lost many rights they should have had in Europe. Multiculturalism is, in fact, based on the legalization of a parallel sharia society, which is founded on the rejection of Western values, above all equality and freedom.

The European establishment closed its eyes while Muslim supremacists were violating the rights of its own people.

"In 2016, a total of 142 failed, foiled and completed attacks were reported by eight EU Member States. More than half (76) of them were reported by the United Kingdom. France reported 23 attacks, Italy 17, Spain 10, Greece 6, Germany 5, Belgium 4 and the Netherlands 1 attack. 142 victims died in terrorist attacks, and 379 were injured in the EU. 1,002 persons were arrested for terrorist offences in 2016".

These countries all tried to integrate Muslim communities, but all came to the same dead end. "As long as that continues, the failure of integration will pose a mortal threat to Europe", the Wall Street Journal wrote after a suicide bombing that killed 22 people in Manchester. According to a new book by the French reporter Alexandre Mendel, Partition: Chronique de la sécession islamiste en France ("Partition: A Chronicle of the Islamist Secession in France"), multiculturalism is leading to the separation of European societies.

It is also leading to constant waves of terror attacks. Last August, on a single day, Islamists killed 20 Europeans in Barcelona and Finland. A month later, they slaughtered two girls in Marseille, and in Birmingham a Shiite boy was brutally wounded. That is the deadly harvest of Europe's multiculturalism. It is the most romanticized, seductive European ideology since Communism.

There is an "increasingly permanent chain of 'suspended communities' nesting within nations throughout the West", the American historian Andrew Michta recently wrote.

"The emergence of these enclaves, reinforced by elite policies of multiculturalism, group identity politics, and the deconstruction of Western heritage, has contributed to the fracturing of Western European nations".

Only twenty minutes separate the Marais, the elegant quarter of Paris where Charlie Hebdo's offices were located, and Gennevilliers, a suburb that houses 10,000 Muslims, where the Kouachi brothers, who gunned down Charlie Hebdo's cartoonists, were born and raised. In Birmingham there is a suburb, Sparkbrook, which has produced one-tenth of the England's jihadists. All of Europe's biggest cities have separated enclaves where Islamic apartheid now proliferates.

There, Burqas and beards mean something. Dressing has always symbolized loyalty to a lifestyle, a civilization. When Mustafa Kemal Atatürk abolished the Caliphate in Turkey, he forbade beards for men and veils for women. The proliferation of Islamic symbols in Europe's ghettos now demarcates the separation of these suburbs. The new leader of England's UK Independence Party (UKIP), Henry Bolton, recently said that the Britain is "buried" by Islam and "swamped" by multiculturalism.

"Multiculturalism," according to the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey of Clifton, "has led to honour killings, female genital circumcision and the establishment of sharia law in inner-city pockets throughout the UK." Under European multiculturalism, Muslim women lost many rights they should have had in Europe. They face "honor crimes" for refusing to wear an Islamic veil; for dressing up in Western clothes; for meeting with Christian friends; for converting to another faith; for seeking a divorce; for resisting being beaten and for being too "independent".

It is one of the great ironies of multiculturalism: five European NATO members are now fighting in Afghanistan against the Taliban who enslave women, while in Europe the same thing is taking place in our own ghettos.

In addition, the fear of "offending" Islamic minorities has been leading to wishful blindness. That is what happened in Rotherham, a city of 117,000 people in northern England, where the mass-rape and grooming of at least 1,400 children by "rape gangs of Pakistani origin" was allowed to go on for many years.

Under multiculturalism, anti-Semitism has also skyrocketed, especially in France. The French weekly L'Express just devoted an entire issue to the "new malaise of the French Jews".

All Europe's recent political earthquakes are a consequence of the failure of multiculturalism. As the British Historian Niall Ferguson said, the main reason for Brexit was immigration.

"Many people in the UK looked at the refugee crisis in Europe and thought: if they get a German passport, they will come to Britain and we will not be able to stop them. This was a key issue for voters, and legitimately, because the Germans had opened the doors to a vast influx from the Muslim world. If you looked at these things from the United Kingdom, the reaction was: wait a moment, what if they come here?"

In the Netherlands, the rise of Geert Wilders is the direct result of the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a Dutch Islamist and the anti-multiculturalism backlash that followed it. In France, Marine Le Pen's political ascent coincided with two years of major terror attacks, in which 230 French citizens were murdered.

Moreover, the extraordinary success in the recent general election of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is the consequence of Chancellor Angela Merkel's fatal decision to open the doors to over a million refugees and migrants. Beatrix von Storch, an AfD leader, just said to BBC that "Islam does not belong to Germany". She explained that it is one thing to allow Muslims privately to preach their Islamic faith, but another to appease political Islam, which is trying to change German democracy and society.

The European establishment has closed its eyes while Muslim supremacists were violating the rights of its own people. Many Islamists then knocked at the doors of Europe with ever more determination. Multiculturalism has been killing and destabilizing Europe as only Nazism and Communism have done before.

As usual the first ripples of rising anger and fighting spirit are rising in the UK. A huge march around 60000 people protested against the Manchester bombing. It was organised by football fans. All teams in the UK put their rivalries to one side to join together in this march. There will be more all on the same day in every major city of the UK. We cannot do it alone so please approach your football teams and fans to make this a Western fight back. We let our politicians know that we will not vote for Muslim appeasers or lefty loony sympathisers. Please help yourselves by helping us.

Multiculturalism is not 'all cultures are equal'. It means 'We WE, the indigenous population welcome different cultures in our lands.' Those cultures are still subject to law - and so a Sikh must wear a crash helmet on a motorcycle, female genital mutilation is a criminal offence and sharia law has no legal status qua (in UK) the sovereignty of the Queen in Parliament. Controlling values must also be those of the receiving state. We depart from those principles at our peril for they remain the necessary and sufficient conditions for workable cultural variants within a unitary state.

One could argue that Christianity died in Europe in the trenches of WWI--or at least fell from its position as the primary philosophical worldview for Europeans.

We've seen two utopian replacement ideologies so far, in communism and fascism. I would argue that multiculturalism is the third, and it's going to prove to be just about as "utopian" as the first two.

I have just returned from a visit to central Europe: Hungary, Slovakia and Austria, and found myself increasingly envious of the strong sense of cultural and national identity that these countries have retained by refusing to bow to Islam. It is in no way an overbearing nationalism, just a quiet assurance and confidence in their way of life. We in western Europe (I'm British) have for too long appeased an alien culture that has systematically undermined and weakened the cohesion, peace and prosperity of our nations. It is central and Eastern Europe, unafraid to be called racist, bigoted and prejudiced, who will be the hope for the survival of European civilisation, with all that it has given to the world.

Call me heartless all you like, but I'm about done with extending empathy and pity towards the women of Islam.

Let us not forget that they make up half of the Muslim population around the world. Let us not forget that it is these women who raise these men into the monsters they become. They set in stone the attitudes that the future generations are raised with. Father's don't tend to get involved with child rearing til around the age of 7 in the Islamic world.

Those initial values are determined and mandated by the women. Spare me the confected self righteousness that the West wrings it hands over, about how these women are all victims.

If they want rights and freedoms and the same opportunities as the rest of us women in the civilized world - then they need to do something about it. Instead of eternal victimhood. They make up half the population for Pete's sake. I don't care what their current status is - if they want the status quo to change - they can physically, literally force that change should they so desire.

While they continue to devote themselves to Islam, they bring this on their shoulders. Yes the men of Islam carry much of the blame - and deservedly so. But the women are accomplices - and in many cases, equal participants, even if it is just by encouraging their menfolk onward.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. Its a lesson that needs to be applied to the 800+ MILLION Islamic women across the planet.

Great comment, Sarah. Nothing heartless about it. You are simply stating the truth about the female role in Islam. Once they had arrived in Europe, this was their chance to change. Tragically, they seem to have become more zealous in their quest for Islam taking over Europe. A wise choice from the EU would be a total ban on burkas for the whole of Europe. Sadly, the U.K. will never implement this as the financial ties with Saudi Arabia are just too strong to risk offending them.

In the UK our Labour party in the past used to say how proud we should be with our "multiculturalism". Thank goodness Labour is now dispatched to the wasteland with the idiot Corbyn. We all blamed Blair for the inrush of immigrants to our country. Now the doors are difficult to slam shut. Nowadays we all suffer from the risk of islamic terrorism. The taxpayer pays for the cost of police time enforcing security everywhere and investigating homegrown and importing people from the South and East wishing us harm. We had no referendum on the dilution of our population.

The politicians don't care. They are looking for the votes of the people they let in. The ordinary man in the street is becoming tired of being over run with immigrants who have nothing to offer and want to take all while breeding like rabbits. Everybody with a modicum of mathematical sense knows the final outcome from this scenario. Merkel doesn't care Macron doesn't care . They have no children so no need to worry about the future. Europe's future is Muslim and Sharia law unless we do something about it. Stop the politicians from destroying thousands of years of Christian heritage. Never accept what they are doing.

Multiculturalism is the post Soviet iteration of the urge behind Communism. It is not identical to Communism, but it's purpose, the destruction of Western civilization, is the same. It's considerably more clever and will be harder to eradicate; try proposing an alternative without giving a full flank opening to being branded as a Fascist, etc.

Yet, when fully realized, multi-culti means a nation with no identity which will fracture under pressure. Such a nation does not defend itself from a confident adversary, the adversary need only slip inside via one of the several competing factions, and then eventually take the whole host nation, first from the inside, then finishing with a little push from without. That was, more or less, Obama's plan, which is still popular with a substantial slice of the USA.

Diversity shares a root with "divisiveness." Group identity politics divide and conquer.

People seeking relevance elevate themselves with controversy, focusing on superficial differences in stead of the one real Golden Rule of Law moral principle which unites us.

It is NOT "multiculturalism" but ISLAM! Having different cultures that are compatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights enriches all societies... It is ISLAM ITSELF that destroys as John Wesley, the founder of Methodist church observed about Islam and Muslims:

"Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it ... have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining;

Many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind.

Our politicians continue to live on the basis of their incomes and their residential conditions, not those of the people they are supposed to be representing. To coin a phrase - they have 'lost the plot', or more accurately - they continue blindfolded to ignore the Islamic Plot. I do feel however that Islam just moved too quickly and there are enough of us now who see through their mad plans for the New Caliphate and the introduction of Shariah Law. This will prove their undoing and our best defense is to set Sunni against Shia and see how far that gets us. Even if the plans of the Islamic world come to fruition, they will still hate one another sufficiently to end up with bringing about their own destruction. The time for us to stir up Shia against Sunni is NOW. Of course WE can play our part by backing both sides at the same time - a typically Muslim practice which is a strategy they employ currently against us. Sauce for the goose!

Complete cowardly behavior by the European elites and politicians. Deep down they must see what is coming and yet, they continue to avoid dealing with it. Only when symbols of Western Society come crashing down will they wake up. By then, of course, it will be too late. Sad as it might be to contemplate, when the Eiffel Tower goes crashing to the ground after Islam conquers France, Paris specifically, these elites won't know what hit them.

Gea, we don't hear of these writings because the left does not allow them to be taught in schools. currently, if your studies are in history or religion, U may stumble across such thoughts on islam, but the left has been enamored of islam as long as there has been a left. contrary to what i once believed, the "enlightenment" (classic Newspeak terminology) was the first attempt to destroy christianity; although it forced christians to look at their beliefs and focus on what God *really* teaches them in His word instead of trying to force everybody to practice, if not believe, the "correct" flavor of christianity, the "enlightenment" did much to eliminate christianity from the academy. the left finished that job some decades ago, and in the process stopped teaching critical thinking and substituted leftist lies for teaching students to seek out truth. the result is that eurabian populations must re-learn history and learn how to think critically before they can grasp the enormity of the treason being inflicted on them by their elites.

there are probably only a few hard-core leftists directing the gutting of western civilization. my guess is that they intend to let pious muslims destroy society from within; because it will be *muslims* murdering, raping, and robbing the unarmed populace, there will be no hard, close looks at the left. this must be why the left tries so hard to protect pious muslims; the leaders of the left are not stupid, and they want their proxy troops to be free to inflict as much damage on the host nations that both hard-core leftists and pious muslims hate for as long as possible. most people, although thoroughly indoctrinated by the hard-core leftists running all indoctrination ("education") centers, are only nominally leftist; most of them are liberal, and actually want their nations to be successful. i am certain that these hordes of liberals believe that because there have been no dire calls of warning about islam from Those Who Are Responsible, the religion *must* be peaceful. thus, those leading hard-core leftists (the thought leaders) who have decided what should happen need not even be in the government, let alone at the helm. they need only to be well-known to those who are the helm, and available for the occasional consultation. and when society begins to crumble because it isn't safe for most people to go to the grocery store, the populace will accede to martial law, if not demand it. at that point, if the person or people in charge are not hard-core leftist and cannot be convinced to impose a leftist dictatorship, they can be assassinated and replaced with a more-compliant liberal, or better yet, a hard-core leftist, and the coup will be complete. and of course, mass murder being a specialty of the left, one of the very first things the hard-core leftist dictatorship will try to do is to surround the banlieues with troops, then go in and murder every human being found there (or just flatten the place with artillery and air bombardments).

i think that the left will have its work cut out for it, however; there are a lot more pious muslims than there are hard-core leftists (probably a couple of orders of magnitude more), and the muslims are not only willing to die, but *want* to die serving their demon god; furthermore, they will have mostly been trained from birth to plot the murders of their opponents, while the hard-core left, for the most part, will have only come by their beliefs in university, and not have been raised up in a gansta culture. in that civil war (which will almost certainly happen), my money is on the muslims. the only question is if ordinary eurabian kufr will understand what is happening soon enough to organize to exterminate the vermin on both sides.

It is certainly a difficult problem. Obviously no-one wants to be 'down' on those practising different religons from one's own...not least because then there would be no reason for anyone to be allowed to practise ANY religion.

And one certainly doesn't want to stop genuine refugees from being able to find refuge in other countries..after all, what would happen if the boot were on the other foot?

Having said that, if we were to live in another country, whether it be a Muslim one or not, then we would have to follow their laws and ethos - so for people living here, then they should really have to follow ours...at the same time having freedom within our laws.

It seems strange (on the face of it) that as far as I can see, it's not first generation immigrants who cause problems, it's often second generation ones. I wonder if that's because they have no sense of identity, neither feeling British for example (though they have been born here), nor quite a citizen of their parents' country of origin, perhaps having to contend with a bit of their own (parent's culture), plus for example the British culture. I should think that could be quite unsettling.

My sister used to be married to a Jamaican..he was actually born in Jamaica but his dad came to Britain...anyhow, he struggled I think with almost a dual identity...he didn't quite know who he was, as it were.

I certainly don't know what the answer is - must be a huge headache for the politicians.

There is a need for acceptance and toleration, but these are a two way street, and must be fully accepted by those wishing to live in a Western Society, unfortunately, the Muslim incomers while demanding acceptance and toleration by the host community, are not prepared to tolerate the unwilling host.

To quote a Kuwaiti Coptic priest I met, "it is very hard to tolerate someone who not only refuses to tolerate you, but believes you have no right to exist".

Jean, you are getting too much into the weeds here. Don't try to understand it, just read the guidance given Muslims in their Book: Never assimilate. Do not befriend non-believers (infidels), conquer their lands for the glory of Allah. As to why it is "second generation" rather than the first who become radicalized, that's because "easy socialism" (not quite available to their parents) allows them to live off the system while plotting against their host country. Allah be praised and the rest can go to hell! That is their motto.

Hm, but I suppose I still don't really understand why (especially British or French or wherever-born Muslims) should be so intent on terrorizing people. I really can't see what they expect to get out of it, unless they totally believe (perhaps brainwashed) into thinking that God is going to be pleased with them. From what I've read, it does seem quite a complex problem.

It is beyond the understanding of most westerners that Muslims totally and truly without any reservations believe that dying in the cause is Allah will take them to paradise. These also believe that assisting the Islamic empowerment even if not by jihad is their duty and pathway to paradise. This belief is cultivated from birth and indoctrinated throughout their lives. Multiculturalism has given the newer generations of Muslims more opportunities and more freedom to exercise their beliefs. Older generations held more fear and awe of the West and many hoped to actually improve their lives but Muslim ghetto and enclaves ruled by fundamentalist and extremist stopped all these people from moving even one inch towards western values. To do so would result in ostracism or even death. That's why future generation are becoming more extreme.

Multiculturalism ('Western culture with its traditions of freedom and individual rights is not vastly morally superior to primitive savage enslaving third world cultures such as Islam.') is one of the three deadly ideas at the base of all Left wing thought.The other two are subjectivism ('There are no true values. Everything is a matter of opinion or outright whim.') and political correctness ('Since in expressing one's views, you may hurt someone else's feelings, the government should regulate, or outright eliminate, all freedom of speech.')As long as EU citizens continue to vote for Left wing politicians, they will find themselves being sold out on behalf of Left wing multicultural slavery.

It is all described in my own book "The World at a Crossroads" which I hope some people might find the time to read. Historian Stanley Payne wrote " A multicultural society is a contradiction in terms; it is not a single society but several making a unified society impossible."

Yes, it probably can only work up to a point.My husband and I lived in Luxembourg and Belgium for several years...now those cultures are not so very different from British culture, but there are still some differences, albeit in small things, so it was easy to adapt.These small things were things like they gave Christmas presents on St Nicholas Day instead of Christmas Day, the Brits would still often have fireworks on Guy Fawkes Day, the Luxembourgers thought it was really weird that we ate things like beans on toast and put vinegar on our chips, heaven help us!..instead of mayonnaise.But none of this was a problem...and I'm sure had they banned fireworks on Bonfire night or something, we would have accepted it.But obviously if a group of people's culture/religion is so radically different that it is not really possible to integrate much at all, then that is bound to cause problems. Imagine for example, if there were still head-hunting tribes (bit extreme I know) and they came to Britain, that would definitely cause problems if they didn't want to give it up!We don't want a dictatorship and we want to be tolerant, accepting and understanding, but where does the line need to be drawn?

Muslim refugees from Islam flee to "infidel" countries, to escape from Islamic doctrine, the root cause of the Islamic violence that plagues the world, today. But, wherever Muslims go, Islamic doctrine goes. And so, Muslim refugees bring with them, the doctrines that have brought about their plight. And, the politically correct "infidel" countries get to enjoy the doctrines, too.

Multiculturalism was doomed before it began in the West, because the governments and others who employed it hadn't the first clue that it meant treating all cultures equally rather privileging one above the rest because of the undertow of violence or threat of violence which accompanied it if it wasn't made special and allowed to inflict its ideas on others.

The 3rd point says it all.Western leaders have done the unimaginable ........ turned on their own in favour of Islam, a society that is evil to the core. FORGET so-called 'moderate' muslims. They may not involve themselves in the atrocities but they DON'T deny them. ALL muslims are on board with achieving a worldwide 'caliphate'. Any muslim seen as opposing any part of the Islamic goal is labelled an apostate (a traitor) and sentenced to death if caught.

If the left (who vote for these socialist, namby pamby, bleeding hearts) knew the whole truth of the situation, there is no way they would consider a leader who would impose this evil on their own Country. Unfortunately, the 'left' electorate know little to nothing when they choose a leader. Call it democracy if you must but, because of the uninformed left, it's a very skewed democracy. The 'youth' vote plays a significant role as they are brainwashed by academia, to support leftist, socialist, Marxist ideals. Raising the voting age would be a good start. It takes a mature, informed electorate to choose a mature, informed, viable and fair leader.

The 'multicultural society' was a ridiculous oxymoronic cop-out cobbled together by the western liberal establishment because they were either terminally gutless, or lacking any integrity and self-respect, or suffering some kind of institutional self-loathing psychosis. Or all three. The 'multi-cultural society' is probably the nearest we'll get to social schizophrenia, and, like a person with multiple conflicting personalities, represents a 'case for treatment', NOT a blueprint for social success. At best it is the stuff of a Walt Disney fairy tale written by a juvenile cock-eyed optimist, at worst the ramblings of an utterly irresponsible social cynic with a serious identity problem. And, like an automobile cobbled together with all the mechanical experience and finesse of street-corner gang of pubescent soap-box-cart-experts, it will fall apart at the first opportunity.

Despite this article and the blindingly obvious state of affairs in many European countries, we, the people are shackled. We cannot oppose what is happening because this is the will of politicians. It's the politicians who have brought this down upon us and the simple reason for that is that they themselves don't have to suffer the consequences! They aren't the ones who are mown down in the street or attacked and raped on a New Years Eve. They aren't blown up at a concert or attacked by maniacs while enjoying an evening out with friends. No, the politicians are fine, they are safe, they are guarded. Why is there a need for them to care? They were voted in by the people for 4/5 years, they can enjoy the benefits of a good salary and expenses, and at times travelling the world using taxpayers money. Why should they care? They never socialise in areas where immigrants reside. Instead for their own safety, they socialise with other politicians and friends in high places that never need to come into contact with the immigrants they so readily allowed to enter the country!

They have known for decades of the setting up of enclaves and the treatment of women, and they have done nothing. But then the people who voted them into power have done nothing either! Everyone is living for today, making money, worried about their situation in life. They don't see what is going on in front of them, anything they hear is quickly forgotten. The West is slowly committing suicide, our children will suffer as a result of this complacency.

There is a very real problem with Islam and the Muslims in general, it has to be addressed, it must be addressed! The day will arrive when even our leaders have nowhere to hide, and if they begin to look for some of us to save them then they will be sadly lacking in support, because no one will raise a finger to help them!

"Everyone is living for today, making money, worried about their situation in life. They don't see what is going on in front of them, anything they hear is quickly forgotten. The West is slowly committing suicide, our children will suffer as a result of this complacency.'

That may lie at the core of the "suicide felt as voluntary one" - the peoples of Europe just do not see the bigger picture: Ummah principle, takkyia, abrogation, history of Islamic quest to name some of the highlights. The peoples of the West are simply naive, uneducated about totalitarian ideologies and - perhaps more importantly - not having first-hand experience with any historical left-wing dictatorship. Case in point: Hungary and Poland are what they are now because of the fatally damaging historical experience with communism and Nazism; there is no white guilt in Orban's or Szydlo's speeches, no multi-culti naivete, no "come to our country because we want to make up for (fascism, colonialism, slavery - whatever applicable).

Anyway - the day will arrive indeed: for my generation, it will strike us as old people well in their retirement, unable to help fully and contribute.

Or maybe I am just excusing myself for my unwillingness to die for the West I proclaimed to love so much?

Sad, sad days to come: there's no escaping it.

Yes, I very much agree with this. In general, there seems to be apathy and malaise among many Europeans to the Islamisation of Europe, although I think this is starting to change slowly. Living in Poland as an Englishman, the Poles are very much aware of what is happening in other European countries (as are other members of the Visegrad group) and are not afraid to speak out against immigration from outside of Europe and its inherent dangers. As such, the society is very much a homoegenous one and long may it remain so.

The European elite has not closed it's eyes while Muslim supremacist violate the rights of native Europeans, said elite has been complicit in this process and bluntly has actively sought and actively seeks the replacement of European peoples in their homelands.

The ultimate challenge is that pushing back against the Islamization of Europe will require Europeans to be ok with being harsh to certain minorities. Such minorities will cry about it and the left leaning media will run emotional stories about it and call people vile racists. The optics are unbearable in the age of 24x7 news and social media. Hard choices must be made and the European people need to learn to live with the painful optics of rejecting backward 3rd world cultures and to accept that it is ok to be cultural supremacists. Western judeo-christian culture must be defended and championed and all this self hate and guilt must be ended before it is too late. The left are the facsists. The left hates our heritage. Thank goodness for the Internet and sites like this - the antidote to the leftist agenda.

In principle multiculturalism is not splintering the west and democratic institutions from the inside out. Minority rights which are being advocated are not being pursued for the sake of equality, they supremacist movements and it is the advocation of minority rights in a form that is minority supremacy that is splintering democracies. The left, liberal socialists are of a regressive mind set and enable these forms of domestic political aggression, their take on countries like Iran is they are revolutionary not Islamist supremacist. Their constructs are based on false positives derived from ideological constructs that are driven by propaganda that ties in the ideals of radical views on climate change to redistributing the wealth, it is these latter false ideals that are tools for these ideologues to rationalize their positions and deny the extreme hostility driving Islamist extremism and even North Korea's madness. Whereas the USSR shared respect or MAD the "revolutionaries" do not. Socialists who believe materialism can explain everything and redressing the disparity in wealth between nations will secure "peace" re delusional and schizophrenic.

It is not unlike an NFL player taking a knee during the performance of the national anthem, with the omit that the protest was started by one player with a wife with ties to the terrorist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. And that these rich self indulgent men are "protesting" the police, while we the tax payers fund the NFL with 7 billion dollars a year much of that money for police protection of players, the stadium and fans. I'm not a fan of schizophrenia.

French existentialists attempted to write tracks proving capitalists are schizophrenic, but it is socialists who are inherently disposed to schizophrenia, they may actually believe that they are of a higher opinion for being able to hold two mutually exclusive points of view at the same time as some sort of artistic gift.

Dialecticism is merely an excuse for losing track of reality.

History (and the koran) warns repeatedly about the barbaric supremicist expansionist Islam and how it demands respect, tolerance, and concessions it brutally denies all others. Islam is an eternal threat to mankind, freedom and civil society. Its tenets say never "coexist". You cannot ever achieve a liberal utopian multicultural diversity with Islam yet liberals are too addicted to its "votes" to stop this suicidal love affair.

Canada is in deep trouble with our new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who spends half his time pandering to muslims and the other half yelling out the Orwellian mantra of "diversity is our strength". This moron has never had a single full time job in his life but was elected because the Liberal party knew they could capitalize on the Trudeau name and Justin is young and has nice hair which is a guarantee of the majority of women votes.

It's still the same and utterly false premise that Islam is 'just another religion'.

It's not, while it has a (widely fabricated) religious aspect (present in the early Koran of Mecca), it is primarily a political system its goal is to prevail over anything non Islamic.

What other so called 'religious' system is, in its official doctrine, so obsessed about the unbeliever and how to eradicate or subjugate them?

This use of totalitarian force and violence is what made Islam succesful in the first place.
